FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 97-118; RM-9061]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Pentwater and Walhalla, MI

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Action in this document allots Channel 255A to Walhalla, 
Michigan, in response to a petition filed by Roger Lewis Hoppe II. See 
12 FCC Rcd 4127 (1997). There is a site restriction 6.3 kilometers 
southwest of the community. Canadian concurrence has been obtained for 
the allotment of Channel 255A at Walhalla at coordinates 43-54-08 and 
86-10-13. A one-step application filed by Bay View Broadcasting, Inc. 
requesting the substitution of Channel 274A for Channel 276A at 
Pentwater, Michigan, has been considered as a counterproposal in this 
proceeding (BPH-970319IE). The allotment of Channel 255A at Walhalla 
instead of Channel 274A removes the conflict with the pending 
application at Pentwater. With this action, this proceeding is 
terminated. A filing window for Channel 255A at Walhalla, Michigan, 
will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of opening a filing 
window for this channel will be addressed by the Commission in a 
subsequent order.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 18, 1998.
